This patient support community is for discussions relating to advanced or metastatic prostate cancer, biopsy, bone scan, blood in urine or semen, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), CT scan, cystoscopy, erectile dysfunction (ED), hormone therapy, incontinence, pain (abdomen, lower back or hip), PSA test, prostatitis, radiation therapy, rectal exam, recurrent cancer, screening, staging (tumor size, metastasis), transrectal ultrasound, watchful waiting, and urinary difficulty, burning, or urgency (leaking).
A rectal exam can reach the prostate and milk some fluid out (as this would be the more likely source of the infection, rather than the semen itself) and then the patient would void urine and this sample is sent out.
Has the reverse ejaculation been a problem before, or has this been exclusively associated with the bleeding and passing tissue fragments?
